AB  - A large animal model, mainly the pig, plays a key role in 
  the study of the biological mechanisms involved in the evolution of mitral valve 
  pathology and research on new treatment strategies. The aim of this study was 
  to increase the knowledge about the physiological value of ultrasound data of 
  mitral valve in adult domestic swine. The study was performed in 80 healthy 
  adult pigs weighing from 20-150 kg. All measurements were performed with the 
  same anesthesia management. Researchers found that E/A Mitral flow velocity 
  index ranged from 1.32 (50 kg body weight) to 1.47 (150 kg B.W.), E/A mitral 
  anterior leaflet movement 2.01 (50 kg B.W.) to 1.21 (150 kg B.W.), EPSS 0.43 
  (50 kg B.W.) to 0.98 (150 kg B.W.). Researchers concluded that due to the clear 
  differences in the responses of organisms in the period of physical development 
  and adults; a study aimed at obtaining adult data should be carried out on animals 
  which have completed their physical development. In the present study, the researchers 
  demonstrated that the results of ultrasound and autopsy of mitral valve showed 
  good agreement within the normal values of humans and pigs weighing 70-100 kg.
